Hulkling & Wiccan by Joe Phillips.
Interesting how the artist decided to have Teddy’s skin in green. Perhaps to help us better identify Teddy as Hulkling, thereby facilitating our recognition of the other guy as Billy?

“Billy’s Firsts”
The fight scene at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The first subtle hint of a special relationship between Billy (as the erstwhile Asgardian) and Teddy (Hulkling) is dropped. It’s also the first time, out of many times, that Billy spams Teddy’s name.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l70q3asJAQ1qd927eo1_500.jpg)

![“Billy’s Firsts”
The first time Billy and Teddy are shown together without the rest of the group, providing more evidence for their relationship this early in the series.
[I find this a bit weird. Teddy can fly right? So this scene between the two seems rather strange. Perhaps in order to maintain the appearance that Teddy is simply “just another Hulk”, Allan Heinberg refrained from showing that Teddy could fly until later on.
But, within the context of the story, why would Hulkling choose not to fly during this scene?]

lmfao. (WHO DREW THIS?)
ROFL.
Billy, apart from having two younger brothers, has another sibling.
Meet Tommy Shepherd, also known as Speed, Billy’s “spiritual” twin. Not only does Tommy talk a lot, but he can do it at twice as fast [or even faster].
I wonder what the name of that font is, the one they use whenever Billy casts a spell. It’s also what’s used for Thor.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5mlnnv6oK1qbsijio1_500.jpg)

![“Billy’s Firsts”
The Young Avengers reveal to Captain America their real identities. Billy and his peers use their real names for the first time since we began our journey with them.
Of note is that Billy was the first to speak, even detailing the members of his family. He mentions his two younger brothers, who—to my knowledge—have never been shown.

Finally got round to adding Teddy in here….I just haven’t had much time recently! ^_^
Does anyone else think of the movies “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey” when you hear/read the words “Billy and Teddy”?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l71r2bPSSZ1qd927eo1_500.jpg)

Couples always fight, so I made a picture of Teddy and Billy also fighting. Of course, not everything is a fairytale. I wonder what they were fighting about? Thoughts?
